Michael Harwell had 13 rebounds and finished with 8 points as his offensive rebounds helped CL keep the offensiveive pressure on the Buffaloes and eventual 25 point victory.
“I just want to play aggressive and go hard,” Harwell said like a linebacker. “If I feel like I have a shot then I am going to do it….getting turnovers leads to fast points.”
Every Hawk had at least one rebound as CL showed a lot of action around the basket giving Tech no chance of staging a comeback.
Noah Gray was the other Hawk that teamed with Zach Taliaferro as these two Hawks combined for 13 steals leaving Fox Tech looking for a den to to house their Buffaloes.
“I was just trying and working as hard as I can,” Noah Gray said. “I am not strong offensively so I have to give it all I’ve got.”
Sam Schimank was the only Hawk to finish the night with double digits scoring 10 points and showing a good free throw shooting touch and having success from beyond the arc.
Hank Jordan scored 8 points and had 9 rebounds as his play was also nails in starting this contest and putting Canyon Lake in a position to take this game from the opening tip.
